My Notes
Description

This is a literature discussion based on the paper “Spectroscopic Elucidation of the Inhibitory Mechanism of Cys2His2 Zinc Finger Transcription Factors by Cobalt(III) Schiff Base Complexes” by Heffern et. al. In Chemistry: A European Journal http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.1002/chem.201301659

 
Learning Goals

Students will be able to:

 

  1. read and comprehend the primary literature article
  2. name cobalt coordination complexes
  3. apply HSAB theory to cobalt(III)-Schiff base complexes and metal ion binding of zinc finger proteins
  4. apply the ligand spectrochemical series to determine the spin state of a cobalt(III)-Schiff base complex
  5. verbalize their answers to a series of questions and use these answers to develop answers to more detailed questions that arise during a discussion
  6. interpret and explain the results from various spectroscopies
